Job Description

As a Distinguished Engineer in Solutions Engineering, you will be the technical cornerstone of Bank Tech's internal professional services organization — a team that deploys cross-domain expertise to accelerate Bank Tech's most critical initiatives. Unlike other roles embedded in a single product, you will operate across multiple domains, teams, and technology stacks simultaneously. You will build trusted relationships with senior leaders across Bank Tech, serve as the technical authority on our engagements, and provide hands-on contributions that set the standard for engineering excellence. You will move between high-priority initiatives in a SWAT-style model, rapidly orienting to new problem spaces and delivering technical direction that unblocks teams and de-risks delivery. Our team works on Bank Tech's top priorities: Integration, Modernization, Reliability, Automated Testing, and Machine Learning. You will shape technical strategy across these engagements while mentoring a team of ~30 engineers spanning full-stack development, Cloud/DevOps, SRE, and AI/ML.

Job Responsibility

  • Provide hands-on technical contributions across active engagements
  • Define and drive technical direction for engagements spanning multiple domains
  • Decompose complex, ambiguous problems into practical solutions
  • Ensure non-functional quality across engagements
  • Make pragmatic technology choices
  • Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with VPs, Senior Directors, and engineering leaders
  • Communicate technical strategy, risks, and trade-offs
  • Navigate organizational complexity
  • Represent Solutions Engineering credibility
  • Partner with receiving teams during knowledge transfer
  • Develop and maintain deep knowledge of Bank Tech's systems landscape
  • Leverage understanding of how the bank's technical systems interconnect
  • Apply institutional context to accelerate onboarding and delivery
  • Stay current on bank-wide technical strategy
  • Mentor and grow engineers across multiple teams
  • Foster a culture of engineering excellence
  • Lead by example
  • Actively recruit and develop talent
  • Operate effectively in a SWAT-style model
  • Balance multiple concurrent engagements

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree
  • At least 7 years of experience in software engineering
  • At least 7 years of experience with cloud computing (AWS)
  • At least 5 years of experience working across multiple technical domains or in a consulting or professional services engineering capacity

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with broad exposure across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and application development
  • 10+ years of professional experience in Java, Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar
  • 8+ years of full lifecycle system development
  • Experience at Capital One or a large financial institution
  • Demonstrated track record of building relationships and influencing technical decisions
  • Experience leading technical direction in a consulting, professional services, or rotational engineering model
  • Experience with multiple of the following: serverless architectures, event-driven systems, observability platforms, ML/AI pipelines, automated testing frameworks, cloud migration at scale
  • Experience leveraging interactive AI tooling
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

What we offer

  • Performance based incentive compensation
  • Cash bonus(es)
  • Long term incentives (LTI)
  • Health benefits
  • Financial benefits
